Today I went to the stables, cos I was oddly depressed for reasons that eludes me. And I saw this cute little foal. I'm not sure if it's a colt or a filly, but it looked adorable, as most little animals are. It stood, forelegs slightly splayed out, to get better access to the little pile of grass below. Long, gangly legs, typical traits of foals. I leaned against the wooden fence and stared at it for quite some time. Not really thinking about anything. Just staring. Observing.
